I've seen this statement repeated over and over since the offseason. It always felt like a kneejerk reaction to me.

The entire point of a mentor is to teach some missing element. I cannot for the life of me figure out exactly what that missing element is:

- Is it production? #1 passing offense.
- Is it work ethic? No evidence of a lack of work ethic. In fact it has been highlighted numerous time how Cooks, Snead, and Thomas have put in extra time.
- Is it X's and O's smarts? Again no indication that's missing either.
- Is it professionalism? No showboating. No off the field issues.

So what exactly am I missing here? What is it that Bolden, or Nicks, or Colston would bring to this group that would merit getting rid of one of them? I've seen calls for all three of them over the last 4-5 months.

Even Brandon Coleman is starting to grow on me.
